Quickbooks vs. Quicken

I just started using Quickbooks 2007 Pro, and have used Quicken for years. But now I'm tracking more than one business, as well as my personal finances. I really like both programs, but don't know which would work best for my needs. I thought that maybe I should upgrade my Quicken to the latest version and keep using that for my personal finances -- and then also use Quickbooks for my business needs.

There is actually a version of Quicken -- Home and Business version that I probably should get. But I've already installed Quickbooks 2007 Pro and it's been over the 60 return policy -- so I hate to not use it. Has anyone used the Quicken Home and Business version -- and what do you think of it?

Maybe I could sell the Quickbooks on eBay (since I don't need to do payroll) and then get the Quicken Home and Business version which might do everything I want. I'd love some advice. Anyone have any suggestions on which accounting software would be best for my needs?
